Protein and Creatine
 

I am currently taking musclemilk and i was wondering if adding creatine would be ok to help me gain some serious mass.

sure....just remember to get plenty of water in every day.

I had a friend that said when he took them together for some reason he couldnt get a hard on.thats why I asked.

creatine is found in foods...so....eating a hamburger would also have him not get a hard on :)

I just had to ask cause not getting a semi is not who i wanna be.

Remember to drink lots of water when taking Creatine! Recommended of 1-2 gallons a day. The side effects are muscle cramps and mild diarrhea. I didn't drink a lot of water during my loading phase and I was taking a shit like crazy. It was painful and was not pleasant. Learn from my mistake.

i hope you also learned that you really don't need a loading phase :)

Yup! Indeed I did. After experiencing those side effects, I did more research. After that day, I haven't followed that "loading phase". I feel so much better now. Also, the bad thing with the loading phase is your wasting twice as much creatine.

that way you have to buy more...sooner :)

When should I take the creatine? Right now i drink muscle milk after working out.

it really doesn't matter when you take it....there is no magical time....as long as your blood stream is saturated...you're good.

Hate to sound dumb but what do you mean by my blood being saturated?

what do yalll mean by loading phase sorry guys im a noobi

Read the thread on pre and post workout nutrition. It ultimately doesn't matter when you take the creatine although absorption is probably better post workout.

If you don't know what a loading phase is, then don't worry about it. :)

I usually half the dosage before and after my workout. You could also try N.O.Explode, it gives one instant energy and atleast i can usually lift more.

u aint got to be a dick about it

thats what these forums are here for

he wasn't being a dick....the loading phase is worthless....and nobody needs one...so no need to worry about it.

You should take a creatine after working out and you can take it with your muscle milk.

thats all he had to say thank you
